Dr. Wei focuses on women’s health issues, including infertility, irregular cycles, painful menstruation, and menopause. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), recognized by the World Health Organization for its effectiveness in treating various disorders, emphasizes the importance of balancing yin and yang to restore health. This balance is crucial for the free flow of qi (energy) and blood throughout the body.
Research indicates that acupuncture can significantly enhance the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF). A systematic review and meta-analysis found that women who underwent acupuncture sessions before and after embryo transfer had notably higher rates of clinical pregnancy and live births compared to those who did not receive acupuncture.
Acupuncture’s role in IVF is thought to involve improving blood flow to the uterus, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being, which are critical factors in enhancing reproductive outcomes. These findings support the integration of acupuncture as a complementary therapy in fertility treatments
